market why not come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kaiser report. on our t.v. syria denies opposition accusations it was behind friday's massacre that killed one hundred eight civilians as russia points to evidence that most of the dead were executed. as a comfort from syria increasing spills into neighboring lebanon fueling fears now of another civil conflict in the region. also in the weeks of the stories ten thousand canadians march against jewish and hikes of the new law to curb demos despite previous clashes and mass arrests.

hello welcome this is r.t. from moscow you're watching the weekly with me kevin and it's a round of of our top stories for the past seven days and first the u.n. security council has been holding an emergency closed door session to discuss the massacre in the syrian town of houla where at least one hundred eight people are now known to have been killed on friday damascus strongly denies being behind the attack saying there's no evidence to confirm its troops involvement it blames anti regime gunmen for the massacre but there's no way to independently verify any of the claims the syrian rebels meantime said the u.n. peace plan is dead and they're calling on foreign partners to launch airstrikes against president assad moscow says the evidence suggests that most of those who died in the area of houla were executed with handheld weapons at close range former pentagon official michael maloof told me the details of the killings he thinks produce the third parties involved. there's been allegations that there were gangs that are under the control of the government but the whole area. i was actually

here is actually under the control of the free syrian army so i don't see how the government forces could have come in and systematically killed all these people up close and like that the opposition has been infiltrated by al qaeda that is al-qaeda is the actions the opposition is becoming much more better equipped. just to clean militarily and this is this is also very problematic i think you have certainly more radical elements that are coming in and plus are getting much more exotic arms in order to. arm the opposition itself. sara first recently from syria explains what she witnessed firsthand in the conflicts development. there is no ceasefire simply doesn't exist this crisis now is just becoming increasingly militarized and having this devastatingly high death toll and so we actually spoke to the deputy foreign minister in syria he's in moscow just the other day i'll tell him where the final responsibility lies on

what's happening in the country right now the ball is not in the call to the syrian government the syrian people. out of those who do not want to see peace and stability and security. particularly those who are calling and declaring every now and then for arming the. smuggling of arms and into the. country you see the rhetoric right from the beginning of the u.n. monitors being there has been now before the plans even reach this three month deadline that it's a failure well ok but it's one thing to say it's terminologies but what is what's the alternative you know constantly giving these problems without any other solution is only going to lead to further violence and you think some of the western countries again continuing right through this peace plan calling for the

arming of the opposition we know the answer traveling into the country and all of this is undermining massively the u.n. attempts to implement a cease fire which is so important that you know that they're able to continue that work and get that done and i think it's very important. you know politics aside the human cost of this conflict is devastating and if the u.n. mission that is going to get it. from it is already. the security council guaranteeing civilian protection that is not going to even attempt to abide by this cease fire to. the heat from the conflict in syria is becoming increasingly felt in neighboring lebanon to street violence for the second week in a row trouble erupted between sunni opponents of president assad's regime and its allies. supporters of his riff national spoke to locals who fear the religious clashes could spill into another bloody conflict in the region i and other night of street protests in beirut. it was sparked when thirteen lebanese pilgrims were

kidnapped in syria apparently by groups linked to the syrian rebels the lebanese capital witnessed what it hadn't seen in years just who i am right about here but are moving to a real war between sunni and shia muslims and this is at least what i see in the last day. the reason the spillover from the chaos in neighboring syria shia muslims here generally support syria's president assad while most sunni's favor the rebels likewise lebanon's ruling coalition led by the powerful share his bola is process while the opposition backs the uprising situation is getting worse obviously in the region and this is having a spillover effect here in lebanon and where we're having to cope with the consequences of that there's also internal tension that's increasing there's a large flow of refugees and there's a lot of instability all around us. some though believe the problems in lebanon antone down to the crisis in syria. with zahra's like spanish journalist thomas

archive editor says they are a symptom of a deep divide that's long bubbled under the surface but he does it with many unresolved issues after the one nine hundred seventy five one thousand nine hundred seventy war like religious division in your forties didn't short it and now they're discovering it again they kept the situation of instability for many years and that's a good ground for a new conflict like a spark in a powder keg get out of order and the bad news is always plenty of power in the cag for how the recent history of warfare hand makes sure that and means the political and religious rifts i remain more dangerous bowler more the start of our libyan or not there are so many factions now sunni or shia. what's really bad every. he has work not only has they may think but everybody in every house and they were thought about the shia and sunni neighborhoods exist side by side in central beirut recent years it's been a stable peaceful arrangement with syria in fact means here has now greet them feel

very turn into a deadly bloody past which residents here desperately hope to avoid but doing it is nothing that has nothing to do with politics or what's happening in the region at the moment it's just that the music world against violence in lebanon some of the people have to leave but that would be cool if it was to happen again and how much is seventy three memories all the major conflicts more than lebanon has gone through is it chilling full cost of all to make this trouble you know you back what i see no reminds me of the nineteen eighty two in two thousand and six israeli wars and the one nine hundred seventy five civil war and the two thousand and eight political uprising here but that i didn't think of it is yet another conflict in my life the year i seems a worse case scenario could be getting more and more likely this neighborhood in beirut where the violence started is known as the ticklish d.d.

meaning new roads many fear this road may lead the country to civil war. three for nationality beirut lebanon and later this hour a report from another country in the region is on the road to change but could egypt's presidential runoff be the choice between a rock and a hard place we are with worries over both the leading islamist and former regime campaign ads. this last week chicago became not just a stage for nato's biggest ever summer but also for the biggest protests the city's seen in years thousands rallied against what they see is the blocs costly and deadly wars many calling for nato's dissolution our correspondent honest as i witnessed how the protest was met with some heavy handed policing. chicago under siege. the last couple of days have seen oceans of protesters thousands marching under a blistering sun to vent their anger at the military alliance rebels to nato

because. this rally fronted by iraq and afghan war vets who are feeling betrayed by the system throw away their medals. after a minute of silence for those who perished in the u.s. led war as. all hell breaks loose. like chaos but tons of people shoved and dragged police thrown on to their knees bleeding faces. one officer stabbed dozens of protesters arrested someday these men may consider this conduct that they engaged in today unbecoming of the dignity that is demanded of them by their station hundreds and hundreds of police not just in riot gear but military armor with guns and but tongs that they willingly deploy on people. a day earlier

a smaller but louder march also took to the streets it should add to the capital. i'm sure everyone here hopes to start a revolution they're calling it the chicago spring like the arab spring. signs ripped off crowds clashed with police but times and police bikes used to block off the crowds with more blood in the chaos. with over a million dollars spent on new gear for chicago police a war breaks out with outraged americans fighting for change at home while the u.s. president is busy hosting a summit on the future of warfare abroad and stacy churkin r.t.e. chicago illinois. and to the north and kind of the country witnessed in its own unrest this last week has. protests of a college fees gained momentum despite the emergency law to curb the rallies and thousands of arrests over the past three months huge numbers turned out again on saturday night in quebec what is going to congress at the latest demo.

it's hard to gauge exactly how many people there are on the streets of montreal but those are thousands of people close by keep a banging on their pots and pans expressing anger over what they see as her crony and measures undertaken by the government to suppress people's right to freedom of assembly and freedom of expression the government of a good because adopted a new law just last week which makes it illegal to assemble without authorities permission and with part of the precise roadmap of any more chore demonstration planned. the use of the could they came up with the race this response to that requirement and as you can see that is the map of montreal such offensive response is also provoked by the police action against the protesters last week a day after the law was passed they rounded up and arrested over seven hundred people in just one day it was by all accounts that we heard a very peaceful protest but it was huge according to there is reports the number of people marching on the streets of montreal reached up quarter of

a million at some point even many of those who didn't care about to wish an hikes and complained about traffic even though they joined the ranks of protesters you see people from all age groups out there forty year old older people all kinds of people almost everyone who witnessed these massive protests say the canadian media are downplaying widespread is that in the police brutality because they say the media are controlled by the government and by those who support the government. you could see how the movement has evolved over the last three months or so it actually in february when it started those are just the students of kid back versus the govern. back and those were generally very peaceful gatherings but believe the guy has been overwhelmingly oppressive and if that was the did not the government passed this antipolo test tomorrow which is. oh yeah the protest actually

fans the flames of the movement you get so much bigger than just the student uprising. the focus of the protests has widened beyond fees to include the new law supposed to could tell the rallies but it's only hardening students resolve canadian journalist michel boys covering the rallies he says the authorities only option now is direct talks bill was seventy eight which is without its faults and its goal is to con everything down it was established by the provincial government. in canada we have a we have a charter and one of the articles in the charter is the right to protest peacefully and people and protesters now are saying is that certain provisions of this new law are infringing on the freedom to protest peacefully so people are in fact even to retaliate even stronger we really don't know what's going to happen really until the until the government since down with the student organization since down to

talk. we're following the story closely and also coming up later this hour a trigger for tension traces of fire and richie raining and discovered at a nuclear facility in iran it sparked more claims that surrounds atomic program has military votive the latest on that ahead and getting ready in case greece gives up its upcoming election could be the country's final say on quitting or to keep cutting but eurozone is already preparing for its first fairwell. egypt's early election results point to a runoff between a muslim brotherhood candidate and a former prime minister of the mubarak era the country's historic first presidential election since the uprising saw only a moderate turnout and numerous complaints of ballot violations result is paula slayer found out regardless of the outcome egypt's future could be bleak. it's a result that stunned many and has the potential to split the country into an islamist candidate pitted against a member of the former regime mohamed morsi is the choice of the poll for muslim

brotherhood well as much if it was the last prime minister to serve under hosni mubarak egyptians now have to choose one or the other for the country's top job and no one is happy. not him personally because he is the. candidate of the revolution should we get rid of the remnants of the regime and prevent the country from moving backwards but the muslim brotherhood is tainted by the same accusation and critics fear the group will stay egypt away from democracy into hardline islamic rule already the brotherhood controls more than half the seats in the new egyptian parliament and they repealed among poor communities gives them the edge which is why those who took to tell his square last year are worried i'm sure of the martyrs where life they would think that this is all it is just no one john the elections they wanted to free them now years and monthly must secure that takes place when. we don't even have the right to be listened in the big

square how can the release of what we stand how last but of which are fixed wrong showing also threatens to undo everything mariam and her friends fought for shafiq is deeply hated by many egyptians and was pelted with stones and shoes when he went to vote but for that that area revolutionaries weren't able to field a single compelling candidate in the country's first post mubarak presidential elections. but many egyptians expected their mommies to be replaced by moderates like i'm almost the sick list of vice a former member of mubarak's regime and abdomen. name a bush a tool a local former brotherhood member adding to their woes egyptians also fear the military that's been ruling the country for the past fifteen months won't stick to

its promise to hand over power and instead will continue to pull the strings even from a far less an area that dr hassan a far believes would have unthinkable consequences i mean it's very cool has to be excluded and then i thought would be very very heroic and there would be a little bloodshed and i think that to me is very much aware of this it's very likely egyptians will vote in any islamist president marking one of the most dramatic political turnarounds in history after all it wasn't that long ago that the muslim brotherhood was outlawed and it's members imprisoned now it's mubarak in the dock and the brotherhood almost in the presidency but there's been nothing about this election that's been predictable and until a new constitution is approved it's still not clear what powers the new president will have but whoever wins his hands will be full of problems here run deep and economic and political frustrations are not that far from spilling over into the fray to protest what is the art scene cairo. all the time line of the turmoils

sources of oil are likely to be able to do so and those nations that have become accustomed to working with the iranian central bank will find other ways to do business with iran if that's what they need to do. you know what you think about it tell us what possibility you think there is for a deal between iran and the west that's the vote on our web site right now this is what you've been saying if you have voted thank you this is what you think forty five percent of you think it doesn't matter of the talk succeed that it won't prevent a strike against iran thirty one percent just believing a deal is not possible because rand's concessions will never satisfy the west and the flip side about fourteen percent degree will be no progress because iran will never agree to the west and again the ten percent optimistic about these are forthcoming five plus one talks in moscow you think that will then nail the deal there's no what you think. there is some changes at the top in russia's political circles this week the latest big promise to dmitri medvedev elected as the leader

of the ruling united russia party even to make the group more open and transparent and promised a major overhaul among party chiefs earlier the country's new government was formed to as recently inaugurated president putin and his team of ministers some key officials do keep the pope. but about three quarters of the cabinet are new appointments including young reformists and market liberals there's been a wave of major anti-government protests in russia's main cities in recent months as tens of thousands gathered to demand a shakeup in the governing elite. good news in brief nato airstrikes killed a family of eight in afghanistan with six children among the dead officials say the victims had no connection with the taliban or any other terrorist group civilian casualties or a splintering issue right now between the afghan leadership and nato whose troops play twenty fourteen thousands of protesters have clashed with police outside the pauls parliament as rival parties inside held last minute talks about controversial

prepare for a greek exit is artie's peter all of a. should they stay or should they go germany's angela merkel is adamant to feel mine is that for my part i would like to say that i think we agree we want greece to remain in the euro zone we know that it's the same for a majority of greek people. but it seems plans are being drawn up in case those hopes fail the german bundesbank says the situation in greece is extremely worrying but isn't predicting the demise of the single currency should the greeks quit the euro a view certainly not shared by all if it won't happen if it won't become reality then we are really in a mess and it means automatically that this postpone a domino effect all over europe because then we have also a question of moral hazard for example if you overdo it you pull out of the euro zone and every problem is nowhere then the others will begin to start ok it's

a very nice solution for us we're all sort of adepts for so far it's easier to pull out of the euro portugal ireland i did here and also spare in an interview in fact hero skeptics feel that drastic german government action may be needed if europe's dominant economy is to avoid being swamped in the economic mire which so called corrects it or greek exit could cause it's not just here in germany that a post greek eurozone is being discussed the finance ministers from all member states have been drawing up contingency plans to try and determine how a greek exit would affect their economies european leaders continue to throw their support behind greek single currency membership the country's rerun elections next month the rapidly looking like a referendum on the euro and everything but name france's socialist president speaking after the informal brussels summit looked like

a man trying to woo the greek electorate with rather softer talk than austerity. if . it was mentioned that we would be using the structural fund to support the growth efforts of greece as well so that the greek voters can be confident as to what support will come after june the seventeenth. so as the future of greece in the euro zone enters what could be its final act top e.u. figures say it's all down to its people let's wait for the people of greece to have their say on the seventeenth of june. and we will not let those films be derailed by those who want to promote speculative scenarios let's wait i do the will of the greek people but it's wait and see time but with deep resistance in greece towards austerity there's no clear outcome in sight for this crisis these are all of a faulty bell it. could have one twenty six am here in moscow now you're watching
